Directors in this French-controlled armament firm joined with Fritz Thyssen, German steel man and armament maker, in contributing money which helped Hitler to power. Putative reason: because Hitler was the one man most likely to stir up war in Europe, thus increase armament orders, armament dividends. After Hitler became Chancellor, French newspapers controlled by armorers screamed for more armaments because he threatened French "security...
...Soon afterward Chancellor Hitler placed the Fatherland's great industrialists on his right hand last week. He created and attached to his Cabinet an advisory Economic Council on which Munitions Tycoon Krupp von Bohlen will rub elbows with Electric Tycoon Carl Friedrich von Siemens and Steel Tycoon Fritz Thyssen. This was all very well for German business with a big "B" but in politics the Cabinet proceeded to carry on with arbitrary violence. Thirty laws were decreed at a single Cabinet sitting between 11 a. m. and midnight. Mainly these were aimed at "hostile and disloyal" Germans, particularly those...
Results count, and are measured by votes. In 1928 the Party won a ludicrous twelve Reichstag seats; in 1930 it became second largest party with 107 seats. It has been largest since last August. The fact that entrenched, conservative German industrialists like Fritz Thyssen count themselves Herr Hitler's friends; the fact that ex-Kaiser Wilhelm's fourth Son Prince August ("Auwi") Wilhelm is a Nazi; and the fact that Germany's new Cabinet is so full of "safeguards," sufficiently explained last week the equanimity with which best posted observers greeted the advent of Chancellor Hitler...
...this abrupt move Dr. Schacht brought a sizeable section of Berlin finance into the Biggest Business phalanx lined up behind Handsome Adolf by Steel Tycoon Fritz Thyssen (TIME. Nov. 28). Also in Berlin, actively supporting the Hitler cause last week, was a close kinsman of British King-Emperor George V, none other than Duke Karl Eduard von Saxe-Coburg-und-Gotha who recently married his daughter Princess Sibylle to the eldest son of Sweden's Crown Prince (TIME. Oct. 10). Backed by the banker, the tycoon, the duke and by a large plurality of German voters, Leader Hitler...
...Strong Personal Dislike." If Steel Tycoon Fritz Thyssen is not Berlin's Lorenzo the Magnificent, he is an excellent modern imitation. At Herr Thyssen's enormous detective-watched residence Leader Hitler and Oberst Goring ate dinner after their flights to Berlin. They conferred the same night with Germany's modern Machiavelli, soft-spoken General-leutnant Kurt von Schleicher, Minister of Defense in the von Papen Cabinet which continued to function ad interim. Germans soon noticed the surprising fact that several newsorgans of Biggest Business, such as Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitiing and Rheinisch-Westfalische, had abruptly switched from hostility to support...
